 Nils Noa - Profile | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 Nils Noa - I deeply and unconditionally love music. Almost any kind of music, says Nils Noa with a serious tone. The love for music has always been the foundation for his ambitions, together with his desire to share it with the masses. So far this sounds like any young dj pushing for the top. One thing stands out though; there was no house-scene in Nils Noa`s hometown, Aalesund. Zero, nill, nada, etc. Okay, he started playing his melodious and twisted house in the local clubs at the age of 16, but loudmouthed eurodancers soon put a stop to that. He found it hard to adapt to the recipy; "Shut up and play this and that." At that point any 16 year old would-be dj would give up, but not this guy. Together with two fellow dreamers he completely, and I mean completely, redecorated an old sportsbar for drunks, and turned it into the first houseclub in Aalesund. Um, the first an the only, as time would show. In the little clubs short lifespan it hosted all the house\techno lunatics in Norway, the ones worth mentioning anyway, and soon became a cult thing for Norways leading dj`s. The clubs name? Blå Vega, a name still uttered with respect. Following the Blå Vega era, things started to happen. Or the landslide began. In short time Nils Noa became the uncrowned prince of housemusic in Norway. Then he was asked to join the Konvoi tour by Mikal Telle. And as expected; he cried a thundering "Yes!". The tour was the launch-tour for the massive Telle-compilation, and Nils Noa found himself amongst Røyksopp, Ralph Myerz and the Jack Herren Band, Erot and Bjørn Torske. - It was madness. I was just a little kid, and was on the road with many of my idols, playing music. Unreal, says Nils Noa, and means it. Later on he turned up at the Quart-festival three years in a row, became resident at the infamous Atomic Soul-thingy at Headon, where he played alongside djs such as Yousef and Ashley Beedle to name a few. He also starred at the Norwegian Summer Parade for two consecutive years. In addition to all this his Klubb Kråkebolle-nights was like shock-therapy for happy clubbers at the legendary Oslo-club Skansen He has also played at all the major club happenings such as Renaissance, Sub City and ministry of sound in Norway. But why stop there? Winter 2001 he released his first mixalbum, "Intersection", and received praises from Norwegian press. Including a 5/6 from Norways largest newspaper.They have also started calling him Norways dj wonderboy. As we speak his second mix is out there, this time solely containing the best of Norwegian electronics. The mix is said to be dark and demanding. By the way, the Bermuda Triangle album will be released sometime this autumn, and the word on the street says - surprise - that it`s a jewel. Nils Noa`s current occupation is making music, not just mixing the work of others. He is one third of the band Bermuda Triangle. You know, the band who rocked the clubs some time back with the underground smash-hit "Mooger Fooger". The brilliant track also ended up in the long awaited mmii-compilation by John Digweed. Nils Noa`s music has since then been spread by top jocks like Deep Dish, John Digweed, Ralph Lawson, Yousef and James Zabiela. Phew!
